ACTIVE ADVENTURES

Without a travel guide or a travel website you probably would not know what you can visit in a country or a city. During our trip we don't have the goal to visit all the tourist highlights, but we will certainly encounter a number of them. We like to tell you about the most beautiful sights, practical tips or a special experience in a country. We always do that with the sustainable idea in mind. Some details are worthy of being special and hidden. On this page you will find general travel tips about beautiful places, but also insights about the way we travel. For example, How much money do you need for a world trip , what is self supported travelling and why do we register dead animals? Many more questions are answered in our blogs.

Are you looking for tips for traveling by bike or on foot? On the pages CYCLING INSPIRATION and HIKING INSPIRATION you will find all kinds of nice routes and tips.

6 reasons to start the NFCT in August

The water will be too low, you will have to portage a lot and you can have snow at the beginning of October. Everyone we told about our plans said one of these things to us. Laconically we said 'we just hiked 1,000 kilometers on the Appalachian Trail so we are well trained'. Secretly, we are afraid of the low water levels
